Prison Break
This is a Fox Mobile mobisode series where the stars drive a Yaris and viewers get to see a quick ad for the Toyota car before each mobisode.
The ad is unobtrusive - in fact in the Netherlands all programmes used to have a joke inserted between sections and the Yaris ads reminded me of […]
Bloggers Recall Press Abuses
I have a soft spot for Ohmynews, the citizen journalism project that began in Korea.
Today one citizen journalist recalled the major news stories that really broke the patience of intelligent Americans in the 1990s. From Bobbitt to Lewinsky via O.J. Simpson.
Stories where the press seemed intent on feeding the murkier elements of public prurience.
It’s worth […]
IPTV in the Classroom and the Bedroom
I got a press release through from Minerva networks today. The subject was a Minerva sale to Multimedia Polska, one of the largest telecom players in central Europe. Good for Minerva, of course, but there are more interesting developments.
More interesting is Minerva’s take on tangential IPTV application areas, particularly hotels and campuses. Hotels are suffering […]
The Edge
Talking about the edge becoming the mainstream I perused a few sites today that look like proper magazines making real money. Vice magazine for example has been hard at it for about eight years now.
Urban 75 began as an off-shoot (pun intended) of a soccer suporters club. Their magazine site is now very accomplished […]
Auto-movies
muvee autoProducer 5
Muvee.com is one of those services that takes audio-visual production into the extreme ease of use that people in the labs are still dreaming about.
By auto-editing movies to a given style, muvee simplifies the complex business of editing home movies.
More important it will empower younger people (maybe some of us oldies too) and […]
No More Edge
IndiaTVLive.com
One of the fascinations of IPTV is the way that what appear to be minority interests - like Indian television in America - come into the mainstream.
I mention it because a couple of days back when I was talking with Gary Murray of Ooh TV, it struck me that edginess is everywhere. We’re not […]
Information Distortion
The world of co-created knowledge is of course the way forward but here are a few observations for anyone in training for a rigorous analysis of wikis, blogs and news sites like newsvine.
A week ago I was up making changes to part of Wikipedia. Why? Because an area there looked to me to overclaim for […]
Managing IPTV Data
Tamblin
This is an example portal screen from Tamblin who make IPTV portal software. Yes, the light goes on. A new generation of businesses is growing around interactive TV.
There’s a real challenge ahead to make IPTV work for viewers. When browsers first began appearing a lot of us were trying to make them more visually […]
Cultures Prone to Innovation
I just got off the phone from talking with Gary Murray of OOh TV. Three things Gary said should give us pause for thought.
1. Already he foresees a shake out coming in the online video space. Ooh are gearing up by focusing in on their most popular product area - urban innovation.
2. Online culture initiatives […]
Is This the Start of Live Performance Networks?
I find this kind of thing fascinating. It is going to open up the web to live performance in front of controlled audiences, a kind of IPTV that I make in front of you. Of course it will have a seemier side but for people who, for example, now run small reader circles for their […]
